Brian has had the honour of researching, lecturing, and tutoring in academic institutions of repute such as the National University of Singapore and LASALLE College of the Arts. He pioneered an Interdisciplinary Teaching and Learning Curriculum for youth-at-risk at Boys’ Town and has over 86,000 professional hours of service-learning, theatrical, immersive pedagogy experience, and consulting. He has provided pedagogical consultation and curated teaching and learning workshops for the educators of institutions such as Outram Secondary School and EduGrove Mandarin Enrichment Centre. He has also worked with organisations such as Chocz, to train retail staff in retail, service, and hospitality standards. He has authored research papers and has been invited to present them at international, doubleblind, peer-reviewed academic conferences held in Hiroshima, Kyoto, Utrecht, Shanghai, and Singapore. He recently spearheaded an international academic and industrial symposium which brought together keynotes from the University of Oxford, Harvard University, and MIT, together with 27 international and local experts as conference track presenters.

Brian is a collector of stories and a weaver of dreams. He is often found traipsing along long, and scenic routes and on his journeys, he documents the multi-faceted vignettes of life. When he is not doing that, he enjoys watching the world pass by, as he savours a cup of coffee in a nondescript coffee stand. In a parallel universe, he is a PhD student of Anthropology at the National University of Singapore and has his coffee freshly brewed from the canteen's vending machine.
